Books and Media

The problem is that, when you are looking for fiction, as soon as you put in "Transgender" into the search engine, you end up with works from such literary giants as Candi Banger with plot lines along the lines of "My wife turned me into a Sissy Maid".

So who is good out there? Which authors are worth reading? OK, a list of some viable resources time:

Melanie-Brown has done some good work. The Reluctant series is OK, but I quite like the Office Bet. There is an American vibe about the books which include a good exploration of gender and stereotypes. Good for an easy read. Aimed at the teen market.

This is one of the better authors that I have come across. Her Trudy Books are the backbone of her showcase. However, there are spin offs in the Trudi universe - Owning Lilly, which is a really good read. Castle Murkie, To Love and Love Not and Suddenly this Summer are really good. UK/France based mostly.

Another Teen genre. She is quite good, although her subjects have been described as too intelligent. I quite like "A Necessary Fiction", The On the Road Again series is quite good. Its all good. There is even a bit of fantasy with Fool Moon. Mid West American again, but a good author.

UK based author. Very good. Very gritty. There are a few lemons that are basically femdom sissy stories, but there are also a few notable works here. Limited Choices, Haven't you Heard the Rumours? Kyle, are good. My favorite from this author is "A walk on the Wild Side". A good plot and characterization. It goes into the psychological aspects.

Prom Changes Everything is a good read. Quite disturbing in places, but a really good book. OK, American Mid West time. But still good. Some Non consensual action at the start, but really good anyway. High Heals in a Minefield is another goodie. A bit like Gabie the Anamie Days is still good. OK I liked it a lot.

Russel Frank is a good author from the UK and tends towards the NC/Reluctant style. The Boy Who Was a Bridesmaid and The Boy in a Bakini are examples of this. However, a really good work is "The Boy in the Red Dress. Good and gritty. Nice to read and good characters.

This is one of the greats. Katie Leone does American Mid West, but there are some really nice shorts. The Pink Pajamas is a must read. There are also some really hard to read and gritty novels here. God Bless The Child and Unreachable are two must read series. Difficult reads, but worth it.

And, ahem, I know it's terribly poor taste to pimp my own book, but since it's getting rather nice reviews, maybe you might like to check it out, Woman as a Foreign Language, by Katherine Wyvern. (if any moderator feels that this part of my post should be deleted, no hard feelings, really!)

Having a retro moment. I just watched Flashdance for the first time in ages. I forgot how good that film was, well the music anyway. I also forgot how many letch shots the cameraman took. Other than that, a good movie.
